Help me decide :)

          The project for 3D Design: Installation Art is to create a 3ft x 10ft paper (vertical or horizontal) which has religious/spiritual meaning that will be hung up in Brown Chapel (the small chapel). On this paper I am having to only cut out my design (no paints just an xacto knife & scissors). This is definitely going to be a challenge for me seeing how I have never done a project like this before.  


          At first I was thinking of making shapes into one image. I really enjoy the quatrefoil (I have drawn one below) so this symbol will DEFINITELY will be in my project somehow. Dustyn Bork, my professor, wanted me to put a meaning behind my work so now I am deciding what message I want to give my audience. You would think this would come easy to someone, but for me its not. I'm not a "churchy" person, and I do not mean to offend anyone by saying that.




          The verse I have chosen is: "As for the one who is weak in faith welcome him, but not to quarrel over opinions" -- Romans 14:1. This verse really connects with me because I feel like as a "Christian"(or whatever else) you are not suppose to judge others in what they believe and in how they believe. Accept how individuals are including: what they look like, who they hang out with, what they practice, etc.



          This was my first idea of my sketch of what I wanted to do.... (excuse the doodles)


          At first I thought that this was a great idea. But then I came to realize, during the discussion that went on in class, that what I drew didn't convey the message I wanted it to. After talking with classmates I have gotten more ideas and now I believe I am on the right track. Here are notes after talking in class today...
          I am going to sketch out my ideas and put them up here as soon as I get time. I wanted to blog about my thoughts while they were fresh on my mind. Comment on here please and give me feedback and or ideas of what YOU would like me to do.

Muah,
Ariel
